Formerly Brix, the space is going for an all-American bar atmosphere says co-owner Jay Clark, who was also co-owner of Brix. He says he wants it to be 75 percent bar and 25 percent restaurant, the opposite of what Brix was. Although the food will be “really good pub grub, like fancy burgers and scratch-made chicken tenders.”

He says he modeled the bar after the popular Key West bar Irish Kevin’s, and is even bringing in live acts from Irish Kevin’s once a month to play Whiskey Dicks. Tom Sartori will be there tonight. There will also be other live acts playing during the week.

As far as that name is concerned he mentions it has many meanings besides the obvious. His father’s name was Dick and he liked whiskey — but says he picked it because “it’s a funny name.”
